The correct answer is C. Lacoste shirts were the first to feature an apparel logo — a croc, of course.

JUST CHILL

Crank up the A.C. on Wednesday (as if you haven’t already done so . . . ). It marks the beginning of Air-Conditioning Appreciation Days (in the Northern Hemisphere), which coincides with the Dog Days. We suppose swamp coolers, window fans and hired help waving large palm fronds would also make the next six weeks more habitable.

BARRY FUNNY

Humorist/author Dave Barry turns 66 Wednesday — but that doesn’t mean he suddenly has to act like a grown-up. Here are some Barry-isms in honor of a truly funny man:

“You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.”

“It is a well-documented fact that guys will not ask for directions. This is a biological thing. This is why it takes several million sperm cells . . . to locate a female egg, despite the fact that the egg is, relative to them, the size of Wisconsin.”

“My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already.”

“Scientists tell us that the fastest animal in the world, with a speed of 120 mph, is a cow dropped out of a helicopter.”

GO FOURTH

Independence Day is Thursday. Please pass the earplugs.
